Applesauce is even easier, and you can’t get the pieces much smaller.;)

Looks great, in NYT they also write something about “Jackie’s Polish-style szarlotka “. But I could not find the recipe. I would like to try something with apples, but prefer to have apples in really small pieces.

I may have. Mostly what I think when I see flowers in November is, Oh you foolish, hopeful thing!

I believe you actually thought that at the little pea sprout, at the time.

Maybe it was a diabolical plot to see if superhero fans really were that clue-impaired.

At the risk of denigrating a huge swathe of comic fandom, does this say more about a lack of perception than anything else? Some slavish pavlovian reflex, perhaps? Put it in front of me, and if it has superheroes, I’ll read it, uncritically?

I’ve gotta say, I’ve never really thought about it before, but that really sounds like a lot of comic geeks I know (self included at different points in time). It’s eerily like some of the early fans of Watchmen that I knew (…I only got around to reading it two or three years after it wrapped).

And/Or, could it also be that many people just latched onto it because they were told it was so good? Yeah…like there’s a phenomena that would be novel…

Exactly. And being superheroes, they’re even more evil, etc.

So with all the adoration the book gets, why do its fans still adore superheroes?

So, basically, what you’re saying here, Pam, is that the book pretty much sums up how humans with power act now, have always acted, and likely will always act (noble utopian naive Star Trek-ish visions of the future notwithstanding).

Evil, stupid, convinced of their own superiority…and getting away with it.

Did I miss anything?

I’m shocked, shocked, I tell you, that I am posting the first comment on this.
